Squaw Valley president and CEO Andy Wirth stated: "We worked closely with the design team at Starbucks to create a one-of-a-kind experience that we know our guests will truly enjoy.

"Nowhere else in the world can skiers and riders enjoy a delicious Starbucks coffee without missing a beat on the slopes."

Spokesperson Amelia Richmond added: "You can get your caffeine fix without taking off your ski gear. We went to Starbucks and said, 'We'd really like to make this happen', and they bought into the idea."
